My 8 month old female cat Rogue has for the past 3 days been cooing and lying around with her butt in the air. I haven't gotten her spayed yet so I was wondering if she is in heat? Is this normal? My dog seems to be very interested in smelling her butt?

My male is neutered

The weirdest thing is happening. When I got my female there was another litter that I chose a male from and he is also about 8 months old. He is neutered and keeps climbing on top of my female in heat, is this normal?
